I understand why he's insecure but he kind of has to get over it

I get that he's a prima donna and, sure, he may be insecure (I'll take your word for that). Strikes me as something not unusual in the QB position.

I guess it's just easier to blame RGIII than anyone else for all the other crap that I've seen out of this team. Can't cover passes in a normal scheme. Can't create TOs. Can't block in the middle of the line. Hell, if Garcon is pissed off, why can't he catch the ball that RGIII drops into his breadbasket from 40+ yards? DJax does it.

Losing is awful in many ways. It brings out the worst in many of us. BUt this is the road we're on. The management is committed to RGIII, for OBVIOUS reasons. Are you really gonna cut him loose to preserve locker room harmony among a bunch of guys who most other teams simply do not want? That would be stupid FO thinking, IMO, even if RGIII is insecure and "burning bridges." He's going to be here for another few seasons, until we know for sure he CAN'T play at this level.

As for Gruden and the offensive staff, is there reason to think they do not want RGIII at this point? Really? I don't buy it.

Winning cures all ills, but there's no shortcut, alas, for our team to get to winning on a regular basis. We're still a number of players off, notably at safety, O-line, and D-line (IMO). Stick to RGIII and build. What better course of action do we have? Back to the Jeff Beck era?* No thank you.

edit: John Beck! Lol. One of these guys used to play for us. The other played for the Yardbirds.
